There's a music in the land, <br /> a rhythm within its soul <br /> And a freedom that comes from the heart. <br /> <br /> The dance of nature <br /> beats to the drums of a voice <br /> That is the spirit of the land. <br /> <br /> The islanders <br /> The multi-coloured flowers of the island <br /> Shares in its wonders with abundance of faith. <br /> <br /> For the music <br /> is the eyes that sees <br /> And ears that listen to the teacher in the stillness. <br /> <br /> The voice says, <br /> "Share all your gifts and talents freely, <br /> Don't be afraid, I'll provide all you need." <br /> <br /> "In times of troubles smile with glee <br /> Use the obstacles of life as stepping stones <br /> And, the path to truth will be revealed." <br /> <br /> The music raises up, and sings even louder to the world, <br /> The land rejoices with plenty of love <br /> For the Spirit dwells within land.<br /><br />Claire Baptiste<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-spirit-dwells-with-the-land/
